I'm totally in love with the bandeau style for bikinis, but given my small band/large cup size range I pretty much resigned myself to the fact I'd never have one for myself. Then one day when I was longingly fawning over some bandeau bikinis, I found this one in my size and had to snatch it up while it was on sale https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Online, the color can vary from a light blue to a light green depending on which site you're viewing it from, but it's really more greenish. I'm not big on the pattern itself since I don't typically go for floral ... designs, but it's okay. The band's definitely a tight 28, which is a-okay with me since I hover closer to 26/27 inches anyway, and the tightness provides more support. Despite it's tightness, it's very comfortable due to the soft layered material the whole bikini is made of. The cups are an average width, but still not narrow enough for me. It can be worn in four styles; strapless, normal straps, cross straps, and halter. The loop to attach the halter strap can be cleanly tucked away behind the gore when not in use, and stays there pretty well. The straps just barely adjust long enough for me to be able to wear it in a cross strap style, but that's my go-to style for sure. I haven't been brave enough to wear it strapless yet, as I get a little more sag than I'm comfortable with, but it would likely be okay to do so. The gore and cups tack pretty well, and although I was worried about the click-into-place style hook in the back, it's stayed secure so far.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it, and definitely stoked to have a well-fitting bikini after years of wearing bikinis so small they basically just covered my nipples.
